It thundered for about half an hour then it rained. After that it wasn't worth going out as I'm sorting the house out as my brother's coming down from Scotland at the weekend for a few days He used to be a keen cyclist at one time and was saying he'd like to get a bike again but the traffic in Aberdeen is quite horrendous and they have the unenviable title of being the most inconsiderate drivers in the UK. I told him to find the cycle routes as there's bound to be some nice cycle routes in and around Aberdeen that he could use. Knowing my brother he'll probably get a bike again.
